Instead of trusting the results from single polls, the recommended strategy look at combined polls or, even better, the combined PollyVote forecast that includes forecasts from different methods, each of which draws upon different data.

To make the results comparable to forecasts from other methods, one can convert them into shares of the two-party vote. This yields figures of 43.1% for Clinton and 0.0% for Trump.
